Overview

Vulnerability Management Detection and Response (VMDR) is a comprehensive approach to identifying, prioritizing, and remediating security vulnerabilities in an organization’s IT infrastructure. It involves:

  • Vulnerability Detection: Continuously scanning systems and applications for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
  • Vulnerability Assessment: Analyzing detected vulnerabilities to determine their severity and potential impact.
  • Vulnerability Prioritization: Ranking vulnerabilities based on risk factors like severity, exploitability, and impact on critical systems.
  • Vulnerability Remediation: Implementing patches, configuration changes, or other corrective actions to address vulnerabilities.
  • Response and Incident Handling: Responding to security incidents resulting from exploited vulnerabilities and taking steps to contain and mitigate the damage.
